I\u2019ve decided to try Flashpunk\/AS3 this weekend! By piecing together bits from ChevyRay examples I have a basic platformer system going.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted the \u201cPlanet\u201d (player) to be able to eat stuff and scale up sort of katamari style, but this is turning out to be very fiddly, and too easy to get the player stuck if he grows into a wall. Using Box2D or such would probably be a better idea.. hmm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\nAnyway, the base puzzle mechanics sort of work but aren\u2019t fun at all.<\/p>","time":"April 21st, 2012 12:44 am","title":"6:43 in \u2013 Ugly but sort of playable"}
